Sowing
The offshoot called “hijuelo” is prepared, before it is planted, with microorganisms and nutrients permitted by international standards for organic certification.
This offshoot comes from a “mother plant” that is also organic.
.
"Jima" Harvest
After eight years maturation, the plant is ready to be cut or harvested, called “jima”.
The organic care and process allow the size of the agave core or “piña” to be optimized, and the sugars to be enhanced.
Cooking
Grinding
Fermentation
Agave juice is placed in fermentation vats, where natural yeast obtained from the agave is added.
Sugars are converted into alcohol through a chemical fermentation process, producing what is called dead must or wort.
Distillation
Separating heads and tails from the first distillation, ordinary organic tequila is extracted, followed by a second distillation which produces the purest organic “Tequila Tierras Blanco”, that preserves the finest notes of agave.
Maturation
"Tequila Tierras Blanco", organic 100% agave, is placed in white oak barrels for 4 to 6 months to obtain "Tequila Tierras Reposado", and for 12 to 16 months to obtain "Tequila Tierras Añejo"
Bottling
Finally, this organic, 100% agave tequila, of excellent quality, is bottled under the strictest standards of hygiene, in an elegant and original presentation. Thus, "Tequila Tierras", becomes a unique drink, deeply appreciated by the most demanding palates.
